About

All of us have a drive to know safety, belonging and dignity. When one of these drives is threatened, our bodies organize themselves with defenses as a priority to salvage whatever is most available and we often find ourselves selling out one for another. This can transpire into conflict, grief and/or mistrust, but when we bring compassion & clarity, we can transform it. We set the therapeutic container to inquire, identify and reorganize patterns that no longer serve you, but were informed by stress, trauma or attachment that requires resolution in the brain. We don't need a story to process trauma and learn new use a new system I take an emergent approach to treating trauma with individuals and groups using Internal Family Systems (IFS) Brainspotting, EMDR, KAP, Somatics in addition to Psychoanalysis, DBT and CBT. I find great success with these body/brain based modalities because they help to set the environment in which the brain is able to heal dysregulation naturally.
